What is the #iTeachMSU Commons?

Welcome to the #iTeachMSU Commons, a vibrant digital community designed by educators for educators. Supported by the Office for Faculty and Academic Staff Development (OFASD), The Graduate School, and The Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation (CTLI), this space celebrates and elevates the diverse teaching practices across MSU. Our goal is to offer an inclusive platform where everyone contributing to teaching and learning – whether you're a professor, teaching assistant, librarian, or coach – can share resources, connect, and enhance their practice.
